CCR Deputy Legal Director Alexis Agathocleous  will join a vibrant panel of artists, lawyers, and human rights advocates to discuss the "Index of the Disappeared," a physical archive that documents post-9/11 disappearances—detentions, deportations, renditions, redactions—and a platform for public dialogue around related issues. Linkages between mass incarceration in the U.S. and black sites abroad will be discussed.

This panel is part of the Art & International Human Rights 2016 symposium at Yale University. The symposium will feature conversations with artists, advocates, and curators whose work engages directly with timely human rights issues. The event will be livestreamed on the conference website here.
